Hi, I saw this blog and was thinking if you could give some tips. I am from Asia and will going Barcelona and thinking to bring Brompton over to move around in the city. Is it safe? Also thinking to travel in train to other countries like France, Switzerland and Germany.

Hello, I have never visited Barcelona myself but I have toured in Spain and the other countries you mention. As far as safe if you mean traffic and you mostly will cycle in cities you will need to be a little careful. In Europe drivers are used to bicycle but cities traffic is moving quite fast and you have to be smart and chose the smaller roads to increase safety. Brompton is ideal to move around and to get on train of course, you probably know that already. Only one thing is to be careful if you leave it parked for a long time in cities like Barcelona but not only. They are becoming popular bikes that can draw some attention from thieves. Make sure you have good locks and try not to leave your bike unattended for too long. Hope this helps.
